cause back twenty years? Let us
see:
While that campaign was in
progress in which the followers of
st. John we're doing SO much harm,
the people of Maine after many
years experience under statutory
prohibition, put it into their State
Constitution by a decided majority,
and they are more than ever deter
mined that it shall be made effec-
tual.
IOWA.
Prohibition, by statute, enacted
before that campaign, holds right
on its way-is becoming more and
more effective, and there is not the
slightest probability of any let up
on the part of the Legislature.
Constitutional Prohibition grows
in favor; legislation for its better
enforcement has been enacted, and
any one who will read the reports
from the forty Probate Judges of
the State collected by the Chicago
Times, or the letter of Gath" re-
Gently published in the Enquirer,
will conclude that Kansas prohibit
ton does prohibit
RHODE ISLAND.
Since the campaign of 1884, the
Legislature, just to "get it out of
politics" and supposing it would
be voted down of course, submit
ted a constitutional Prohibition
Amendment to vote of the people,
and they were indeed "set back"
with surprise to find it ratified by
the necessary three-ffths vote of
the people. The worst enemies of
Prohibition concede its beneficial
effects in Providence, and through
out the State.
OREGON.
The Legislature of Oregon, now
in session, has concurred in the
Amendment which was passed by
the last Legislature, and it now
goes to vote of the people either
at special election, or at the next
general election. Which, has not
vet been determined.
MICHIGAN.
The Legislature of Michigan
now in session, has adopted an
Amendment by the necessary two
thirds vote in each House, and it
will be voted on by the people at
the regular Spring election, April
9Th, 1887. The prospect for ratifi-
cation is fattering. Michigan will
probably be the next State to un-
furl the Prohibition banner.
PENNSYLVANIA.
On Wednesday of last week the
Legislature redeemed the pledge
made by the Republican party of
that State, in the last campaign.
In the platform adopted by the
State Convention in 1886, the par
ty pledged itself squarely that the
Legislature, if Republican, would
pass a Prohibition Amendment
this winter. When the Legisla-
ture convened recently, there was
at first a disposition to evade the
obligation, by passing an Amend
ment with a compensation rider
attached. But this attempt to
dodge met with 80 much disfavor
from the public, that it was aban-
doned, and a straight resolution was
proposed and promptly passed by

Party movement of 1884 set the
cause back twenty years? Let us
